SM Entertainment scouted Jihyo after she placed second in a child star contest on Junior Naver.[6] After a year training at SM Entertainment, the employee who scouted her transferred to JYP Entertainment and Jihyo also transferred.[7] She joined JYP Entertainment in 2005 at the age of eight and trained for ten years,[8][9][10] during which she became the face of Innisfree's teen line with boy band Boyfriend,[1] and trained with K-pop acts such as Wonder Girls' Sunmi and Hyerim, Bae Suzy, Jo Kwon, and Nichkhun.

In 2014, Jihyo was set to debut in a six-member girl group called 6Mix with now-Twice members Nayeon, Jeongyeon and Sana, but the project was cancelled when two members left JYP Entertainment.[1][3][9] The following year, she joined the reality television show Sixteen, a competition to select the founding members of Twice.[11][12] She legally changed her name to Park Ji-hyo before the competition.[3][13][1] As one of nine successful participants, she went on to join the newly formed girl group Twice, and was voted by her bandmates as leader in an anonymous vote.[1][8][9]
